Whoops! Sorry. I have no insight into what the DEC may be considering nor have I heard of anyone lobbying for amendments to the bear canister regulation. Perhaps someone associated with the DEC can chime in.

I voted sometimes, especially when hiking alone. Prepare my food and store canister at least 100 yards downwind from the hammock. I feel safer after having it done. That's why I also sleep in the hammock - far from the ground and potential bears

"far from the ground and potential bears"

You've got me curious...how far from the ground? Do you set your hammock in an unusually high position?

Back when hammocks first started getting popular, we always referred to them as "Bear Burritos"
